Abstract: A method for in a motor vehicle (30) calculating a navigation
route towards a destination (E) operates by sequentially
presenting navigation indications to a vehicle user as being
based on an actual position (A) of the vehicle, and on an
actually calculated route. 
     In particular, the method detects and evaluates a feasibility
metric of the actually calculated route, and in case of an
insufficient feasibility, finds a predicted vehicle position
(D1, D2) at a predetermined future instant in time. Next, the
method recalculates the navigation route as between the
predicted vehicle position (D1, D2) and the destination (E).
However, in case of sufficient feasibility, all of the
actually calculated route is maintained.

Abstract: This invention relates to an improvement in a purification process for producing
those liquid copper based complexes of β-diketones and, particularly the monovalent
copper complexes of β-diketones, which are suited for application by chemical vapor
deposition in the electronics industry. In the basic process for preparing a copper based
complex, a reactive copper compound is reacted with a fluorinated β-diketonate and an
organo source such as an olefinic source or one having acetylenic unsaturation.
Purification is effected by contacting reaction product with a double deionized
deoxygenated water source and preferably an acid/water source. An aqueous layer and
an organic layer are formed with the aqueous layer containing byproducts and the

Abstract: In an all optical switch an imaging system is optically coupled to
the moveable micro mirrors of a MEMS device so as to produce an image of
the MEMS device at the end of the imaging system which is not coupled to
the MEMS device. The image is substantially in a plane with either input
or output of the optical switch. The imaging system may be a telecentric
system. The size of the arrangement may be reduced by compacting the
optical path, e.g., using appropriate conventional mirrors, and/or
employing folded arrangements, i.e., arrangements in which there is only
one MEMS device stage that does double duty for both input and output
through the use of at least one conventional mirror. The overall system
is arranged to account for any inversions introduced.

Abstract: Where synchronization in time and frequency in the
downstream channel has been previously carried out, and
determined by the sending of synchronization sequences (3)
in a communication between a head-end (1) and user
equipment (2); the present invention is characterized
because it corrects sampling frequency in the user
equipments (2) by starting from the estimation carried out
during frequency synchronization in the downstream channel,
to synchronize the upstream channel in frequency, removing
the need for the head-end to make corrections in reception
in the upstream channel. 
     The user equipment (2) estimates (9) the moment the
OFDM symbols (7) should be sent to the head-end (1) so
that these are received by it at previously fixed moments
in time. 
     Furthermore, this invention includes interrogation of
the user equipment (2), which allows them to place requests
for access to the upstream channel with the head-end then
making the distribution between the requests received. 
     It is applicable to sending of data in bi-directional
communication over the electric network.

IPC: G02B6/38

Abstract: The invention relates to an adjustment method, especially for the adjustment of optical or fiber optical components, whereby a partial region of an actuator is locally heated in such a defined manner that compressive stresses are created therein as a result of the restricted thermal expansion of said heated partial region, caused by at least one other partial region of the actuator. If the yielding point σ of the material of the partial region is exceeded, said compressive stresses lead to the plastic compression of the heated partial region. Furthermore, said heated partial region is contracted during cooling and leads to a defined modification of the geometry of the actuator following the cooling process. Tensile stresses are created as a result of a restriction of said contraction by means of at least one other partial region in the previously heated partial region, and compressive stresses are frozen in the at least one other region. During the adjustment process, essential regions of the actuator, in which the tensile stresses or compressive stresses are frozen after cooling, are brought to a critical temperature in relation to the operating temperature of the actuator, at least until flow processes of the material are ended at the critical temperature.
